Extension summary

Math Blocker is a Chrome extension that blocks distracting websites by making users answer a series of math questions.

When loading a blocked website, a popup appears with a series of math questions. The user cannot access the site until they have completed all questions. Once the questions are finished, the site can only be used for a previously specified amount of time before another set of questions appears.

The user defines a list of websites, and specifies when the block is "on".

The user also defines how difficult each question is, and how many questions are asked before the user can go to the website.

Exactly what i wanted. Details like being unable to reduce number or difficulty of questions during a block makes me think the guy who wrote this struggles similarly to me. Thanks you my dude. If there's a github, let me know, I'd love to contribute.

Almost, but not quite. No option to leave blocker on, have to go into extension and manually set 'timer' for each site, every time.

Very effective at keeping me away from Facebook, but might need some timer options and more difficult math options.
